... that the Arsenal footballer Matt Smith won an FA Cup winners medal without having made his debut for Arsenal? Source: Swindon Advertiser

Reviewed: Nottingham cheese riot

Created by GiantSnowman (talk) and The C of E (talk). Nominated by The C of E (talk) at 13:03, 13 September 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Y Article is just long enough (1534 characters), new enough (moved to mainspace 12 September, nominated 13 September), and article is within policy. Smith is notable, as he passes WP:NFOOTY due to his 1 appearance for Swindon
Y Hook is short enough, interesting (getting a medal despite never having played for a club is unusual and therefore interesting), in the article, and well-cited
Y QPQ done
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:45, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
